Beyond South Australia

The author of Beyond South Australia, Sammy, is studying education and specializes in Indonesian.

She regularly blogs about her dreams for going to Indonesia, and provides a unique perspective on Victorian life since she grew up in South Australia.

Sammy shares honestly about life's ups and downs, and even shares some of her artwork which is a real treat.

Indonesians and Indonesian students alike will enjoy Sammy's bilingual blog, as will anyone who appreciates honesty and creativity in blogging.

Travbox: Comical Contemplation


Author: The author of Travbox is a Physical Education student living in Regional Victoria. He works part-time for a para-church organisation, and rents a house with three other students.

Content: Trav regularly comments on current issues, particularly those affecting the Christian Church in Australia. He also writes about the crazy things he and his friends get up to, which are highly entertaining to read about. What makes this blog unique is Trav's openness about his personal struggles and frustrations, a rare thing for a blog with no anonymity.

Audience: Trav's friends and family are probably his most loyal readers. But I have a feeling he has a readership that extends far beyond these.

Special feature: Trav has a unique sense of humour - and this comes across in his posts. He continually sees the funny side of normal everyday events; you'll find yourself being entertained by the simplest things, such as his dislike of dogs. Consequently, Trav has a knack of being able to raise serious issues in a light-hearted manner. You can expect to get a well-thought out opinion on contentious issues without being bogged down by the details.

Travbox will be enjoyed by: Class-clowns and deeper-thinkers everywhere.
